Although, this is nothing to do with PHP.
You have several options to use Win and Linux
- Multi-boot with separate partitions
- Multi-boot with umsdos (You can install Linux in windows partition with this)
- Virtual machine - use VMWare for example. You can use windows and Linux at
the same time. Slow though.
(VMWare works really well with my W2K box. I don't use it often, but
it's really useful sometimes)
You also can change partition size without deleting contents.
Linux Documentation Project web site has a lot of documents.
http://www.linuxdoc.org/
For further questions, ask in Linux related news or mailing list.
